Working With Logic Song Files in Multiple Hardware Set-ups

Hi all,
If anyone can help with this, I'd really appreciate it.
I am working on some music that I am leaving on my laptop. When in my home studio, I will handle audio I/O through my MOTU 828 MkII, with a PC-300 MIDI keyboard.
When on the move, I will edit and overdub with using the computer's soundcard and a portable MIDI keyboard.
My question is, are there any tips I should know about for making such an approach work smoothly?
I find that the system sometimes makes alerts and small errors based on the lack of the hardware that was connected that last time it was opened.
Perhaps there is a better way of approaching this that I am not aware of?
Many thanks!
Scott

There is absolutely nothing to worry about, when Logic gives you a warning that an audio setup has changed. Just click OK and keep going. As for MIDI keyboards, I suppose, they are usually automatically detected (provided you have their drivers installed on your system).
If you happen to work in different MIDI setups with, say, various different synths and drum-machines used, you can make 2 different Environments with all necessary objects configured, and save them in respective User Templates.

Apple Remote won't work with Logic

I bought a new iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) and the Apple Remote won't work with Logic 8. It worked fine on my MacBook Pro.

jazzmaniac, I did something by holding down two buttons on the remote for a few seconds. I guess that is called registering. But when I try to play a song file in Logic, Front Row pops up instead.
I've searched the Internet and am finding little on this topic.

Apogee Ensemble or Symphony to work with Logic?

Hello,
I'm considering to buy Apogee multi I/O hardware to work with Logic Pro in my studio.
The choice is between an Ensemble interface and a Symphony System (Rosetta 800).
I know that in terms of quality the second one is better and that Ensemble is more affordable in terms of price.
What I'd like to know is how does Ensemble work in terms of LATENCY (I hate it) and if VBus is a big +point for Symphony when mixing and using heavy plug-ins and instruments like NI Battery or B4 (for example).
Could any one help me in this choice.
Thanks!

Thanks
Then I'm more interested in buying an Ensemble instead of a Symphony System for my project/mixing studio.
Yeah, my work is all in Logic.
I produce reggae music. I record some live instrument and vocals into logic, then I work with'em and some virtual insturments and plug-ins.
I thought that VBus could help to heva a more efficient RAM usage, allowing me to run big plugins "outside" Logic.
Talking about latency, it could also be due to my USB keyboard/controller, I know.
I asked about that also because using my apogee duet with logic I had some latency when recording a voice in a porject with virtual instruments and plugins. Maybe I do something wrong.
Big Up
p.s. I visited your site. Nice productions
Do you know some links where I could master my tracks (reggae)?

Will the m-audio project mix i/o work with Logic X?

Hi,
I have a m-audio project mix i/o interface/control surface.
Will this work with Logic X?
Thanks,
Mike

If it works now on 10.8.4, then yes. This depends on OS X and drivers (if needed), not on Logic. Logic can only 'see' hardware that the OS can see.

01v96i Yamaha...will it work with logic pro X

I bought the new Yamaha 01v96i Mixer but I can't make it works with Logic pro, in the list of available DAW I only find the 01v96 which is not the same and in-fact it does not work with the 01v96i.
Does anyone have an idea on how to set Logic for it or at least does anyone know if the new Logic Pro X has the new 01v96i in the list?

Lyford,
Again, in regards to hardware... it is not about LPX compatibility.. It is about compatibility with the OS X version and it's CoreAudio... Once you 'get' that point then everything else makes sense...
Tascam are notorious about leaving owners of "End of Line" products 'high and dry' when OS X is updated... and as you have found... the 1884 is not compatible with Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and likely will never be so... because Tascam will not be releasing Mountain Lion drivers for it.. so, it is not something you can use with LPX, which requires Mountain Lion 10.8.4 as a minimum requirement.
As an aside, Apple have acknowledged they make an error in simply using the LP9 Hardware compatibility chart for LPX (as LP9 could be used with earlier OS X versions for which there were drivers for the 1884 for example) and have said they will be issuing an updated version "in the near future"......

Will the Tascam FW-1884 work with Logic Pro X?

Hello,
I notice that the new Logic is 64 bit only and yet the Tascam FW-1884 is specifically listed as a supported control surface.
Tascam has not released 64 bit drivers for this device! Can anyone shed any light on this? Will it work only as a control surface and not an audio interface? Is the documentation in error? Anyone have this working with Logic Pro X?
Thanks,
Lyford Rome

Work with logic - not against it ( I learned now)

As an old user of logic, since way back I had BIG problems, when starting on 8.x.x
First I wanted everything to look N feel like before.
Tried all kind of tricks amoung other, to get rit of the transport bar ( former open trash, now 8.0.1 gone trick)
Even tried to import 7.x.x project and made them templates ( wanted two windows horizontly)( arrange+mixer/piano roll)
Now after a few days, I suddently found out..
Instead of "working against" logic, its much easier to "work with" logic.
And after accepting this, everything goes a lot faster..
especially the piano roll ( or other windows) open short cut, depending on what region you have highlightet, speed things up..
sorry for being so "old fashioned" and "stubburn", before I found out how to work "the way" apple/logic team want me to..
Their ideas is actually quite smart..
Still would like to work with more windows, get rit of transportbar, global track, the entire BIN
And instead get som more space
btw It would be nice to be able to be able to zoom in eg the EXS sampler..
All I need it for, is to load samples..
a short cut to "mini view" ( just the name of the samples loaded) would be greatly appriciated..

Running fine here, no crashes, plenty of horsepower to burn using lots of tracks, plugs, and 128 samples buffer size. Couple of the commonly reported minor bugs here and there. I like 8 much better than 7; breezier and simpler in many ways. I would agree that it required a mental adjustment initially. If your system is running as poorly as you say, your problem is not about Logic working "with" or "against," and you haven't yet experienced L8's intended functionality or design.
Rather than assume Logic is useless, you might check to see if your experience is common and therefore indicative of the software. For example, you ask why you should have to "go up to 1024 SPB, or whatever, to avoid this appalling behaviour" and the short answer is you shouldn't and most of us don't. Maybe there's a hardware or software conflict somewhere, or some components in the wrong folders, or maybe a problem with ram or a drive - these can be insidious.

Wha wha pedal work well with GarageBand but don't want to work with logic pro 9.1.8 on my MBPro end 2011

Install on MacBook Pro end of 2011 with logic Pro 9.1.8 and Apogee GIO interface guitar
The wha wha pedal work well with GarageBand but not working with Logic Pro
Only the red light turning on and off at the screnn of the MBPro and on my Apogee GIO (Guitar Interface Midi) switch button but the effect wha wha won't work.
HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND MY ENGLISH

Pancenter...
Yes... but I have come across some setups that came with a native SL (and even one Lion!) installation.. that somehow had a corrupted or older Prokit installed for some unknown reason... and given it's a quick fix to try.. I thought I'd mention it..
I frankly don't think it is entirely a Prokit issue itself, but it wouldn't do any harm to try and install v7 just in case it is part of the problem...
+1 on the UAD stuff....
Also, at the time it crashed... according to the logs...the OP was running Ableton Live at the same time, presumably rewired with Logic... so add all that together with UAD plugins... and that's quite a load on the system...
Finally in thread 32 there is a weird exception msg relating to the Trash2 plugin.. that I haven't seen before...
Thread 32:
0   libSystem.B.dylib
0x94c29afa mach_msg_trap + 10
1   libSystem.B.dylib
0x94c2a267 mach_msg + 68

0x94c57259 _pthread_start + 345
4   libSystem.B.dylib

That might be nothing... but as i said, I haven't seen that one before and given what else is going on.. it might be involved too... or nothing to do with that at all!

How can I get an old Casio CTK-593 to work with Logic Express?

Title pretty much says it all.
I have a Fast Track USB from M-Audio to connect it to my pc but I don't know how to get it working with Logic.
Thanks in advance.

Did you check your connection with the audio-midi-setup.app in the programs/utilities folder of your MAC (not "pc" pls)?
If you have a working MIDI connection, you'll need to open up a software instrument track within Logic to play Logic's instruments via your keyboard.

Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4. When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4. When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

Clarification: this is a user forum; you are not addressing Adobe here.
The answer to your question as phrased is: never.
CS5 is history and it is not longer supported. There will not be any updates or bug fixes for CS5.
You need to convert the raw NEF files from your D810 to raw DNGs using the free, standalone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 RC (beta), the first version ever to support that camera..

Advice needed: The way to solve out of memory problem (or the way to work with big csv files)

Hello:)
I'm in trouble: I have a big csv file (over 5gb of web-analytics data) and my 64 bit excel (and 6gb ram)
I cant load file to data model because of it's size. There is an error "out of memory" in power query.
This is the first time when I encountered such a problem.
What options do I have to work with such a file? To increase memory in my computer? Would it solve the problem? How much do I need to work with 6gb csv?
Or may be I can upload my data somewhere to azure and work with it there?
So the problem - is there any way to deal with big files using power query? Or I need to become a developer and learn sql or other languages?
Thanks in advance.
Max

Hi Miguel!
Thanks for your answer.
I've tried to load this file on virtual pc from azure cloud with this config:
I have increased memory limit in power query settings:
And still, the proble is the same:
What I do wrong?

Cant get motif XF8 to work with logic 9

I cannot get my motif XF8 to work with Logic 9, nor is it working with any other DAW. I have used the motif since last summer and it has always been hit or miss with MIDI. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. The cord is connected appropriately. I am mystified, and embarrassed to admit that I really don't get MIDI at all. I have a Macbook pro that is a year old or so. Please help.

Uh . . . . . I had to adjust Motif as in Utility/Control then set the MIDI In/Out to USB. I felt very silly when I found this out.

Has anyone figured out how to make the Yamaha 01V96i mixer work with Logic 9.1.8

Has anyone figured out how to make the Yamaha 01V96i mixer work with Logic 9.1.8 as a control surface ?

In YAMAHA01v96i:
Go to DIO/SETUP select Generic DAW. Go to MIDI settings page and set the desired port (personally I use Number 1), Select the same audio frequency you use in your DAW (I use 44.1KhZ)...at this point You should save a scene in you 01V96i to avoid to repeat all the procedure again.
Open studio manager, go to patch and set the input port from 17 to 32 respectively to USB1-USB16 (this will give you the return from you DAW to the 01v96i
Save again the scene overwriting the old one.
in LOGIC
Click on preferences, select Audio then select 01v96i, then click on control surface and select Mackie design Baby HUI and in the midi session set the same port that you've been setting on the Yamaha 01V96i (Port 1 if you follow this example).
That's more or less it.
It worked for me...so far
